About Us

GoQuant develops solutions that make life easier and more profitable for digital asset traders and researchers. We do so primarily by increasing transparency, boosting speed, and placing decisions in the hands of users.

We currently offer two solutions: GoMarket and GoTrade. GoMarket is a subscription service that delivers low-latency digital asset data via WebSocket. Features include a unified querying language that allows users to easily bypass exchange-specific protocols to access data. GoTrade is a trade execution platform that allows clients to trade digital assets—using multiple interfaces (Rest API, UI, WebSocket, Redis, etc.) to rapidly interact and trade with cryptocurrency exchanges.

Our infrastructure is built with performance, flexibility, and reliability in mind, leveraging technologies across Python, C++, and cloud-based systems.

This is an exciting time for the GoQuant team as we onboard clients and rapidly build out our solutions to meet their needs.
